Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 4 dressed (squirrel tail), 1/3oz Brass spinning lure #2105

Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) from the eyelet to the hook bend, this dressed spinner is built around a heavy-gauge wire frame designed for lasting durability. The gold-finished blade, marked with the classic French-designed stamp, is paired with a natural squirrel tail dressing in a brown and grey palette, as indicated by the B4ST G-BR code on the vintage packaging. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the size #4 Aglia is a substantial choice for larger predatory species like northern pike or smallmouth bass. The construction features a distinctive red bead that acts as a visual focal point just above the feathered treble hook. This specific item, identified by product code 2105, is unused and remains sealed in its original retail blister card, which has preserved the factory finish of the brass components and the integrity of the natural hair. Assembled in Antigo, Wisconsin, the lure utilizes a clevis-mounted blade system designed to initiate rotation immediately upon the retrieve. The back of the card provides detailed species recommendations, positioning this #4 model as a primary tool for those targeting salmon and steelhead.
